"Snake Dance", the second act of "The Dancer", a classic ballet repertoire handed down from generation to generation, sounds dreamy, but it is actually a serious tragedy full of jealousy, murder, and separation from pain.Little Alice specially chose this section, the purpose is to show off her skills in a less urgent way, and to delay time by the way.

Well, the stage was not high, and the gentlemen who were coming and going in secret conversations were not far away, and she could easily hear what they were exchanging.

——No matter who wants to struggle to survive in this world, he must have some skills.If you are not willing to sell your body and soul, then you have to find another way to develop other talents that are sufficient as chips.

She can also do more difficult pieces, but it's not appropriate here to be too high-key.Don't look at the well-dressed men in the audience, their hearts are not necessarily more simple than the guests of the Bercy Cabaret Theater.Don't be an idiot and say something naive about "an amazing song and get out of the sea of ​​suffering". The fact that it can appear here shows that most of the guests are not pursuing the principles of a gentleman.

Flowers that are too dazzling will be cut off the branches at the first time, but she only wants to hang on until the end.

"Have you heard about the new bill in Congress?"

"There's a tendency to unite here in Europe, business..."

"The canals of North Africa..."

"Northern Ireland wants a referendum..."

The other blond girls who came to the party together were nowhere to be seen, and they must have been taken to the upstairs room by the guests who saw them, including Epony, who was snuggling with Alice before.

Of course the child knew what coming here meant to him, and he was still happy with it.It’s not shameless, but poverty and hunger are sometimes more terrifying than any monsters, especially when this depravity is added to the weight of other lives, which makes her more willing to be a martyr.But Alice doesn't want to bow to fate as easily as Epony. As long as there is a chance, she will fight to the death with the mentality of breaking the boat.

She doesn't believe that Mrs. Coffee will really keep her promise, just as Mrs. Coffee doesn't believe that these girls can survive her years to enjoy her promise.They are like a game between a person who plans to apply for a gym card and a gym owner. One bets that the other party will not give up the market and run away with money, and the other bets that the other party cannot stick to the original intention from beginning to end.

In this scene of feasting and feasting, there are always a few outsiders who are specially brought in to gain knowledge, and by the way, meet the needs of the upper class to be admired and admired by the common people.

Kenkichi Aizawa was invited for this reason - as an ordinary staff member of the embassy, ​​he was eager to reopen the door to the world for the country behind him, no matter what.

As the defeated countries in the World War, the situation of the island country and Germany is completely opposite. After a series of sanctions, the former quickly slid to its knees and jumped left and right with the help of geographical advantages in a dog-licking posture. Instead, it was forgiven in the game of great powers.In addition to being garrisoned by the United States and the sovereignty in name only, it quickly crawled out of the ruins.

——As long as you have no morals, you are not afraid of being criticized for your low morality.

Of course, no matter how good a person is as a dog, he still wants to be a primate in his heart, and the same is true for island countries.Having experienced the rapid economic development and the bursting of the bubble, it shifted its attention to the European continent hidden behind the storm.

In any case, the United States and the United Kingdom are also in the relationship of conjugated father and son. France and the United Kingdom, the crouching dragon and phoenix, can always unite as one and spare no effort to deal with each other. Germany, which is also a defeated country, has a relationship with the French ancestors for many years. Coupled with Russia, which is entrenched on one side... Behind this bad debt, there are countless grievances and grievances between the European continent and the American continent, and there are always gaps worth exploiting.

Regardless of whether Mr. Aizawa has the talent in this area, no one cares whether he is willing to do this. As a low-level employee of the embassy, ​​his job is to find ways to talk to all levels of European society, up to the princes. From nobles down to traffickers and pawns, they have to rack their brains and manage carefully.After all, it is a dog raised by a dog. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, let alone dogs?

Out of duty, Aizawa Kenkichi got the invitation letter of the party through several contacts and twists and turns, and appeared on time in the white and gold-decorated hall of the old castle.

"These European ghosts." Holding the wine glass, he tried his best to flatter on the surface, but he had already scolded everyone who had to be careful to curry favor in his heart.

Expressing countless praises and envy "from the heart", he finally temporarily got rid of the role of clown jester and the like, and got a chance to hide in a secluded place to breathe.However, it was almost as soon as he turned around, and he was surprised to find that there was still a little thing that looked familiar to him.

The little girl with black hair and purple eyes stepped out of the curtain, with silver bells on her ankles jingling, dancing intently under the light.The long turban was fixed on the forehead by ornaments, and the green tulle full of East Asian style did not match the purple eyes at all, but it set off her porcelain-white complexion and black hair.If it was just a beautiful little dancer, it would be fine to appreciate it a few more times. What really shocked him was the palpitating familiarity hidden in the outline of the child's facial features——

——That was Aizawa Kenkichi's former classmate and "friend", an old classmate who was personally sent back to the army by a report letter, and Mori Ogai who moved to Yokohama to start an intelligence business after retiring.

By the way, the reason why he reported Mr. Sen was "dereliction of duty".Who told that guy to be proud of his love affair in Brandenburg? Could it be that this little girl is the "evidence" of that romantic debt back then?

Thinking of his old classmate's methods now, and the rumors he had heard over the years, Kenkichi Aizawa broke out in a dense layer of cold sweat.

More than ten years ago, Mori Ogai was admitted to a military academy at a young age to visit Germany at the public expense. He is really an enviable gifted boy.Later, he won the goodwill of the German side by virtue of his pleasing appearance and smooth means, and he had a close relationship with the Russian ambassador to Germany in private.It is simply impossible for such a rising star not to be envied by others.Furthermore, at that time, Mori Ogai himself was quite arrogant, and the mediocre seniors were not regarded by him at all.

Working with such a young and energetic guy who sees people out of the corner of his eye is torture for everyone, and it is only reasonable that Mr. Mori will be provoked and reported.

He would be invulnerable if he hadn't accidentally learned about the affairs of foreign students from Brandenburg.As for the report letter that ended everything, Aizawa Kenkichi didn't know if Mori Ogai had guessed who it was from.

Maybe he reasoned everything out, but there was no trace of that face that was always half-smiling and calm.Even after leaving Germany and returning to the army, he entrusted himself, the low-level staff of the embassy, ​​to go to Brandenburg to pay living expenses on a regular basis.It's really confusing, and I dare not act rashly.

Looking back and thinking about the money that was not abundant but could not be described as stingy, Kenkichi Aizawa clenched his fingers in embarrassment.The budget of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is limited, and the funds for activities are increasingly stretched. It is true that he collected the money and kept it in his hands, but the amount that was actually transferred to the designated account... ahem, it is sparser than the wool left over by the capitalists.

Maybe that's why this kid was at the party.

Kenkichi Aizawa couldn't help but look at the girl on the stage again and again, his appearance naturally caught the eyes of those who cared.Soon, his "good friend" who attended the party with him came over with a glass of wine, and whispered with a smile: "Mr. Aizawa, are you interested in ballet?"

"Ah? Hahaha, I just heard about it. I'm really a layman for this kind of elegant art." He was very afraid of being seen by others. Obviously, the psychological shadow left by Mori Ogai has spread to his daughter, making this The timid diplomat was terrified.

This sincere friend is actually Aizawa's financial backer, or simply put, a wealthy investor.One is holding the invitation letter of Mrs. Coffee in his hand and suffers from lack of outfits that match his diplomatic status, and the other is newly broke out that he lacks everything and money but is rejected by the upper class and urgently needs to find a way... These two people can't say that they are heart-to-heart, right? At least it hit it off.

The main guests of Mrs. Coffee's party are all elites in various fields.Not limited to wealth, other aspects such as literature, art, science, and even mystery, as long as you stand at the pinnacle of human beings, you will be treated warmly here.Of course, for Aizawa Kenkichi and his friends, this place is like a mountain king's treasury that hides huge treasures. Anyone who walks in front of them is very expensive. No matter which power they cling to, it will be a great success. .

The man turned his head and glanced at the small stage. There were quite a few "staff" with pure black hair. He mistakenly thought that Aizawa was concerned about the little girl's East Asian features.

"Don't worry, my good friend. It's just a cutie, and I'll take care of everything for you."

He raised his wine glass, pretending to understand, walked to the champagne tower and whispered a few words to the waiter.On such an occasion, all deals were concluded tacitly, so it was definitely a surprise that Da Lala found the guy who ordered the table.The professional waiter did not show his disgust or contempt. The young man bowed slightly and saluted in a calm tone: "Sir, you might as well go talk to this lady directly, I think she will wait a while I'll be free."

No matter what these girls came here for, there is no shortage of respect on the surface.That is, Little Alice's black hair made the waiter feel a little anxious to watch the scene.

The young man with a bad nose pretended to be innocent and walked back to Kenkichi Aizawa, and said to him with a smile, "It's done, you can talk to her when she gets off the stage."

After he finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes ambiguously, and the cold sweat on the back of Mr. Aizawa added another layer.

How dare he take advantage of Mori Ogai's daughter, unless he doesn't plan to return to the island country in his life...

and many more.

In the blink of an eye, a brilliant idea suddenly popped up in Aizawa Kenkichi's small head.

Mori Ogai has remained single since he retired, until now he has emerged in Yokohama, and he has not heard of any woman he plans to marry as his wife.Could it be...he still has an old love for the blonde beauty from Brandenburg?

Come to think of it, it's not impossible.

As for men, they are always extra tolerant towards their first love, not to mention how old was Mr. Mori at that time?

Especially during his stay in Germany, he just encountered the pain of bereavement of his mother. Unable to return home, he found a lot of comfort in Brandenburg. It must be that Miss Wilgent left an indelible mark on his heart.

From another perspective, if this little girl is really the daughter of Mori Ogai left behind in Germany... Isn't my chance here?

That annoying guy, no matter how he suppresses him, he will come back again if he doesn't pay attention. This time he chose Yokohama, relying on his connections in the army to make the intelligence business flourish.If he held his mistress and this only blood in his hands, he would not have to continue to stay in Germany bitterly and suffer.

——Bringing the child and her mother back to the island country will not only be kind to her father, but also provide the military with a weight to restrain the chess pieces.And Aizawa Kenkichi himself can also seek to be transferred back to the mainland with the convenience of this shareholder style.According to the general rule, officials who are angry for the country abroad can always be promoted an extra level or two to show preferential treatment after returning home. No matter how you think about it, the future will be a bright future.

It's really great!

Aizawa Kenkichi could hardly believe that this was a wonderful idea he could come up with. Mori Ogai is not easy to deal with. His daughter can't possibly be a monster-like genius like him!

Of course, the premise is that she is indeed from Brandenburg, and her mother is a blond dancer named Vergent.

It seemed that he needed to have a chat with the kid.
